    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    The thing is I've successfully set up two other arduinos using the same raspberry pi. They're atmega rather than official arduinos so I uploaded the hex via xloader on all of them. This one is just getting stuck at the installed devices stage. It worked perfectly after resetting the eeprom on...

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    When I say 'it' I'm referring to resetting the eeprom not the button on the brewpi ui. Hope that clears up the confusion

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    Tried that too, did it manually via ssh, while logged on as normal user and as root. Still nothing...I'm at a loss

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    I've set up two arduinos so far without many issues, I'm setting up a 3rd and am the installing devices stage Usually I'd reset the eeprom here, which I've done, yet I still can't get anything to move up into the installed devices section. Does anybody know of any other reason this wouldn't...

    Schneider Weisse Tap 1 Clone

    I never said thanks for the advice, sorry! I followed your advice, decided to go for 70% wheat 30% pilsner. 5 gallon batch, 60 minute addition was 25g hallertauer mittelfrueh with another 25g saphir at 5 mins. Couldn't get the wyeast I wanted so went with a new company here in Europe. Fermentum...

    CraftBeerPi - Raspberry Pi Software

    My ssr is only allowing a trickle of power through to the plug so my water is painfully slow at heating. I also have a sainsmart ssr. Is it simple to hook up to one of those instead?

    Schneider Weisse Tap 1 Clone

    I can't seem to find a recipe for this beer, only the other taps. A good few don't mention the tap number but from discussion of colour they seem to refer to the darker versions as opposed to this light one. Has anybody had experience brewing one or a very handy recipe to pass on to me?

    Is it possible to set a start time so I could have my water at just the right temp when I get in from work?

    CraftBeerPi - Raspberry Pi Software

    The car button worked, so simple! Well it worked for the heater, that's gpio 17, I thought the agitator would be on gpio 18 but that doesn't work still. To be fair I don't actually have any sort of agitator yet so this is all I need for now. Thanks!

    Anybody care to critique my cream ale water profile?

    Thanks yooper, just out of interest If I remove the epsom and gypsum my numbers will be thrown off, so bru'n water profiles won't necessarily get you a better tasting beer? Is that what the columns turning red is for? Hard to get the balance between a profile you want and not adding too much of...

    Anybody care to critique my cream ale water profile?

    First time having a proper go at using Bru'n water and not really aware of which additions are better but I've included ones I know I can order with my next batch of ingredients. Grain bill is 4.32KGs of Weyermann Pale ale malt, EBC around 6.5, plus some flaked maize. Thanks,

    CraftBeerPi - Raspberry Pi Software

    Hi, I've managed to set it up to the point where its reading temperature correctly on the web interface, however I Can't get the relays to activate when I start up a mash. Is there any list of common mistakes at this point? I've tried setting the heater and agitator to all available GPIOs in...

    CraftBeerPi - Raspberry Pi Software

    Looking at the diagram I can see no external power source for the kettle as you'd have in the brew pi. I assume the USB cable into the pi can't provide eight power for a 13 amp plug on a kettle?

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    Hooked up my brew pi to my boiler and blew the fuse in the plug I'd wired up to the relay. Makes sense, fuse in that plug was 5 amps, boiler was 13. However I've just hooked up a brewpi with a 13 amp fuse on the plug to my keezer and I'm pretty sure it's blown again. Anyone know why a fuse would...

    Aquarium pump instead of stir plate

    So I still haven't actually made the starteer, may be doing it tonight. Was looking at mrmalty's FAQs and the below is pretty interesting Continuous air from a pump and sterile filter can be effective too. The major drawbacks are being able to control the flow of air to prevent excessive...

    Aquarium pump instead of stir plate

    I'd just drop the stone into the starter, I'm looking at building a stir plate but need to order a couple of things then this popped into my head. It serves the same purpose so I'm thinking it must work. I've heard over aerating is bad though so I assume I'll need to put the pump on a timer
